Good news! After some fiddling and understanding the repository layout I finally have working OpenTelemetry Collector packages for @opensuse!

Packages for the "core" or "classic" collector, the contrib distribution and the otlp distribution are working fine in my tests and have been submitted to the server:monitoring devel project. This includes the packages required to build them.

Here is a vagrant-libvirt setup to play around with the packages (three branches currently).

Once I find some information on how to use the ebpf-profiler distribution, I will test that package and add a branch for it.

Rethinking #Microservices? Listen to the #InfoQ #podcast with Sam Newman for key lessons:

Use Microservices as a last resort, as distributed systems bring serious complexity
Architecture is a Continuous Journey, not a fixed destination
Focus on the Outcome
Build in Observability from day one to enable better decision-making
Microservices are not binary, but a gradient. It's OK to have microservices for part of your systems, while the rest remain monoliths

My obsession with #MCP servers continues. And like many of my obsessions, I love finding ways in which they intersect with other obsessions (hello, #Observability). I decided to leverage the #Dynatrace MCP server to use natural language to query #OpenTelemetry data in Dynatrace. End result? Well, you’ll need to read the blog post!

I switched from Promtail to OTel Collector for application logs and reduced the average CPU usage by 20% (4vCPU VPS). Disk I/O was also reduced from 2.5MB writes to 200kB.
